To celebrate Christmas this year, The Killers gave their fans a new song titled “We Did It in the Name of Love.” For now, it is only available through the band's social media platforms.
“Santa has a new song in his bag”, the group wrote in the title that accompanies the track. “Merry christmas!” stream it below.
like the murderers subreddit As he points out, vocalist Brandon Flowers mentioned “We did it in the name of love” in an interview with The current published last summer. Speaking about the song, he and drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr. explained how it was recorded in a little-used studio in the hills of Santa Cruz, California.
“I needed to be close to home at that time; “My wife was going to give birth any minute, so we decided to rent this studio that hadn't been touched since 1977,” Vannucci Jr. recalled. “There wasn't a computer in the studio, so we had to buy one and basically plug it into his system. And we just started, you know, recording some songs.”
Flowers added that the home studio is run by a man named Ken (whose wife is named Barbie, naturally) and they had to share the space with the couple. During those sessions, they created “We Did It in the Name of Love,” which Flowers described as “a little bit of the spirit of the Sisters of Mercy.”
Earlier this month, The Killers released a new greatest hits album, rebel diamonds, with the unreleased song “Spirit”. They are set to kick off a series of shows in the UK and Ireland next June; get your tickets here.
